Word of the day: siblings
The first graders are bringing home a challenge with this week's spelling list: they're trying out the words could, would, and should. We'll review these words daily at school and I'm guessing there will be lots of students in here that will be spelling those words perfectly by the week's end.
In our first grade language arts program, we've been practising sight words, phonics, and using problem solving strategies to decipher unknown words. We've also introduced the use of apostrophes for possession (like writing "Mily's pony tail" or "Henri's book"). We've also begun using quotation marks in simple sentences like, Sam said, "Good work, Sally!" The students are catching on quickly - great to see!
Just a heads-up to close for today: There will be no school for students this Friday, as the staff will be traveling to Hinton for a day-long inservice.
